Drain Cleaning
Clogged kitchen sinks, slow bathroom drains and backed-up basement floor drains.
A gas range in a renovated kitchen, a new gas fireplace or a line to the rooftop deck grill. Our licensed plumbers size, run and test gas lines in Lincoln Park homes. Our office is on Diversey Parkway.

Common projects:
Electric-to-gas switches and new layouts.
New units and conversions.
New laundry locations.
Permanent outdoor lines.
Step by step:
Size, condition and load.
Pipe, supports and shutoffs.
Before connecting.
City renovations often mean new gas work in old buildings.
Moving the range means a new branch line.
Gas fireplaces are a popular upgrade. See gas fireplace service.
Outdoor lines need protection and a shutoff.
Rooftop decks are common on Lincoln Park homes, and a built-in grill or fire table up there needs a gas line that's run, supported and protected properly. We plan the route from the meter, often up an exterior wall or through a chase, add a shutoff at the appliance and pressure-test the line. The City of Chicago may require a permit, and we'll handle it where it does.
The route through an older building matters most, along with the distance from the meter. Rooftop decks and upper-floor kitchens take more work. City permits may apply. We plan the route and quote one flat price.

"Welhem completed some plumbing services to ensure my washer/dryer could be installed. He was prompt and professional and did great work."
"Jacob C. Jacob was fantastic. From scheduling to the actual visit, the entire experience with this company was smooth and professional. After dealing with plumbers who overcharge and underdeliver, this was a huge relief. Jacob was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to clearly explain the issue and our options with pricing ranges. We never felt rushed or pressured. [...]"
"Communication, information and installation went great. Price was very competitive. Shane explained everything extremely well and Alex installed hot water tank beautifully. Shortly after Alex left a gas leak from an old valve on the piping to the tank occurred and needed to be replaced, Alex came back same night and fixed it. This is a 5-Star company."
